Judgement

If former Governor Rod Blagojevich deserved 14 years, which I thought was excessive, then surely William Cellini deserved more than a year and a day. Judge James Zagel erred in both cases; one was too much and the other not enough. - Dolores Cizek, LaGrange

The Sports Xchange By Clark Judge, The Sports Xchange Super Bowl Judgements: A week, a game to remember THE BEST OF SUPER BOWL XLVIII PLAY OF THE GAME: Seattle linebacker Malcolm Smith's 69-yard interception return for a touchdown. Yeah, the Seahawks led by 15 at the time, but Peyton Manning started looking like, well, Peyton Manning on this drive for the first ... and last ... time all evening. Manning completed eight of nine passes, driving the Broncos to the...

Judgment day? The end of the world? Whatever it is that May 21 is supposed to be, I just don't buy it. And a word to the wise to all parents: Don't let your kids use "the end" as an excuse for not doing their homework or studying for an exam. When May 22 dawns and all is well, they will be on the losing end. -- JoAnn Lee Frank, Clearwater, Fla.

LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Britain's Foreign Office said it would appeal a High Court judgement on Friday that three elderly Kenyans who were tortured under British rule in the 1950s could pursue their claim for damages from London. "The judgement has potentially significant and far reaching legal implications," it said in a statement. "The normal time limit for bringing a civil action is 3 to 6 years. In this case, that period has been extended to over 50 years despite...

`Judgement" bears down on an audience like a joint nightmare. This stark one-man confessional, written by British playwright Barry Collins in 1974 (for Peter O'Toole), combines the most macabre imaginings of Poe with an appallingly accurate psychological realism-elements heightened by Larry Neumann Jr. into a chilling acting triumph. "Judgement" is drawn from a true event of World War II. Neumann plays Andrei Vukhov, one of two survivors of a group of seven Russian prisoners. Abandoned...

`Contortions" and Judgement" are two one-act dramas that, striving to be experimental, wind up as anti-theatrical. Neither play makes sense, although there is a certain balance in their pairing. The lighter "Contortions," featuring a character who idolizes the Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello, deals with a young woman on the brink of death; while "Judgement," described as inspired by the work of such eminent theater experimenters as Antonin Artaud, Jerzy Grotowski and...

By Estelle Shirbon LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - A British court ruled on Friday that three elderly Kenyans who were tortured under British rule in the 1950s could pursue their claim for damages from London, a judgement likely to encourage other claims from victims of colonial-era brutality. Britain, which had tried for three years to block their legal action, said it was disappointed and planned to appeal while lawyers for the claimants warned the ruling...

Chinese officials protested angrily after Guo Shuang and Gong Jinjie were relegated to silver, leaving their German opponents Kristina Vogel and Miriam Welte with the gold.
